                                Research has shown that metabolic adaptation, a natural physiological response to dieting, can significantly slow metabolism to conserve energy. Understanding how long to reverse diet after cut is therefore critical for transitioning successfully and mitigating the risk of regaining weight rapidly once the diet ends.
